This is my third Frank Davis cookbbok. I love it as much as my others. The recipes are easy to follow and use ingredients that are readily available here in the South.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Orleans Cooking, September 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frank Davis Cooks Naturally N'Awlins (Hardcover)

I have all of Frank Davis's Cookbooks and watch him everyweek on a local TV morning show. His recipes are precise and easy to follow and the results are magnificent. All his cookbooks have typical New Orleans food and he even tells you what is good to accompany main dishes.

This review is from: Frank Davis Cooks Naturally N'Awlins (Hardcover)

Frank Davis is well-known in the N.O. area and all of Louisiana for that matter. He has a number of cookbooks, but this is one of our favorites, and have used it for years. We made this purchase to begin restoring the cookbook collection of family members who have lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina. When I thought of the one book they would most like to have back, this is the one I immediately knew had to be on the list. It has authentic, "regular people" recipes (not high-falutin' gourmet chef recipes) that we can and do cook in our home kitchens. Frank Davis does "N'Awlins" food in a laid back, easy to duplicate style and the results are always good.
